It takes a very speedy brain to keep up with the conversations of 17 excited children. Sadly, this morning I didn't have a speedy brain and I was on a back foot for most of the day! It's only now, whilst they're writing their diaries and sipping hot chocolate that they've started to calm down, take their time and actually [...]
Completely forgot to post this photo from this week. Mrs Sexon comes back to school regulalry after retiring 6 years ago, mostly listening to readers and helping out in class 3, but after arranging for the maypole and broom dance music to be played and recorded at school, she teaches the children the moves every year! The pole's base had [...]
It was a tense day on Wednesday as the results of the Great Class 4 Car race were revealed.... Everyone in class 4 had managed to design and build a working (mostly) car, and I was amazed at the creativity and imagination shown in this year's range of vehicles. The races were held on Monday afternoon and each car could [...]
Class 4 had a great day at the Braunton School Athletics Festival yesterday competing against years 5 & 6 from all of the Braunton Learning Community primary schools. The day was run as a mini Olympics and our teams (Uganda and Greece) ran, jumped, hurdled and threw their way round 8 different activities designed to test their endurance [...]
So here are some of the photos now that I have reliable WiFi! Day one spent travelling and settling in. Day two's activities and an evening in London. The whole of day three was spent in London. Lots of museums and then Charlie and The Chocolate Factory! We had a relaxing start to the day for [...]
Managed to get a sneaky Geocache in whilst the others play rounders, waiting for the train! ;-) 'Fallen Giants' on the River Lea Navigation
Yet another 'tunnel' sorry, yes we need to walk up this road sorry, yes I know it's a far way, yes the tube took us as close as we could, yes we're doing the show tonight, no it's not a movie it's real people acting, I think it's like the film yes but they may have changed it slightly, I'm [...]
"I'm so tired I'm probably going to fall asleep in the movie, " said one of them whilst walking through the very hot dinosaur exhibition. It is very hot, I can't blame him! Sam, James and then everyone pretended to be Hercules holding up the world but again they were pleasantly surprised by the escalator going through the centre of [...]
A really slow start this morning. Elaine had to knock progressively harder on the boys' door and Charlie said they had to sacrifice Sam to go and answer it being the closest to the door. 20 minutes until breakfast and we walled out of the door on time - perfect bunch of kids for getting ready and being organised this [...]
That was, honestly, the best overnight so far with both boys and girls being sensible and getting to sleep within 20 minutes of lights out :-) And the morning was just as good with no (too) early starts. In fact, Mia and Amie report that girls' beds are made, the room's tidy and today's things are packed, and it's 730am! [...]
